Shelf by nono umasy
The Russian Civil War, which raged from 1917 to 1923, was a pivotal and multifaceted conflict in Russia's history. It emerged in the wake of the Russian Revolution, pitting the Bolshevik Red Army against a diverse array of opposition forces, including the White Army, anarchists, and foreign interventionists. This struggle for power and ideology not only shaped the course of the Soviet Union but also had profound global repercussions. The war's outcome ultimately solidified the Bolsheviks' grip on Russia, paving the way for the establishment of the Soviet Union and the beginning of a new era in world politics and ideology.
